Australian Senate Wimps Out
The Australian Senate passed a bill giving away responsibility for RU-486, the abortion drug. The drug will now be assessed by the Theraputic Goods Association (TGA), even though it isn't a theraputic drug. Even though there were a huge number of submissions against the bill (something like 3900 against, 100 for), our elected politicians decided to ignore the expressed will of their electorates.

The list of for and against senators is below. Please ensure that you encourage those senators who voted against it, and express your disapproval to those who voted for it. Especially in the next election.
